(1) The working of the mystery of lawlessness under divine restraint which had already begun in the apostle's time (Th2 2:7).
(2) the apostasy of the professing church (Th2 1:3); (Luk 18:8); (Ti2 3:1-8).
(3) the removal of that which restrains the mystery of lawlessness (Th2 2:6); (Th2 2:7). The restrainer is a person -- "he," and since a "mystery" always implies a supernatural element,

this Person can be none other than the Holy Spirit in the church, to be "taken out of the way"; (Th2 2:7); (Th1 4:14-17).
(4) the manifestation of the lawless one (Th2 2:8-10); (Dan 7:8); (Dan 9:27); (Mat 24:15); (Rev 13:2-10).
(5) the coming of Christ in glory and the destruction of the lawless one (Th2 2:8); (Rev 19:11-21).
